Treasure Chest
Speaking Briefly: An Overview of the Literacy Strategy
Treasure Chest is an instructional strategy that focuses on the skills of segmenting and blending sounds. According to the National Reading Panel (2000), instruction that explicitly focuses on one or two skills in phonological awareness is most effective. When students engage in segmenting and blending sounds, they are preparing for the decoding and encoding of words (Ehri, Nunes, Willows, & Schuster, 2001).
The objective of the Treasure Chest activity is to provide emergent or early readers with repeated practice in segmenting and blending phonemes. This activity is best suited for a literacy center or tutorial session. However, it can also be used as an independent work packet to be used at home with parents.
